Seeking Left-Handed 300 PRC Options

As a left-handed shooter, finding the right rifle can often feel like a minefield, especially when it comes to a specific caliber like the 300 PRC. I’ve been doing some digging into potential options for left-handed rifles chambered in this caliber and wanted to get the community’s input.

What I’m Looking For

  • Availability: Are there brands or models that offer a left-handed variant in 300 PRC?
  • Build or Buy: Should I consider building a custom rifle, or are there off-the-shelf models that won’t break the bank?
  • Reviews: What have been your experiences with different brands? Any recommendations or warnings?
  • Challenges: What are the specific challenges you’ve faced as a left-handed shooter when it comes to finding the right firearm?

Potential Brands to Explore

From what I’ve gathered, some brands are beginning to recognize the demand for left-handed shooters. Here are a few I’ve come across so far:

  • Savage Arms: Known for a variety of models, including left-handed options.
  • Weatherby: They offer some great left-handed models, but availability can be hit-or-miss.
  • Tikka: I’ve heard good things about Tikka’s quality and accuracy, yet I’m not sure about their left-handed rifle options in 300 PRC.

Custom Builds

I’m considering the option of building a custom rifle tailored to my preferences. However, I’m unsure about components:

  • Barrel: What weight and twist rate is best for 300 PRC?
  • Chassis: Any recommendations for a left-handed chassis?
  • Optics: What type of scope should I pair with this setup?

If any of you have insights, personal stories, or even links to helpful resources or forums where I might find more information, I’d greatly appreciate it!

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Exactly! I also found the Browning X-Bolt Pro to be an excellent choice. It’s lightweight and well-balanced, ideal for those longer hunts. Anyone tried it?

I’ve had my hands on the X-Bolt Pro, and it’s just fantastic! The adjustable comb is a huge plus for left-handers.

Great advice! Does anyone know about ease of recoil management in these models? The 300 PRC can be hefty for some, so ergonomics are key.

7

Good point! I found the addition of a muzzle brake on certain models really helps to mitigate felt recoil, making it easier to stay on target.

You might also consider the Savage 110 for a budget-friendly option. It offers a left-handed model and is surprisingly light, which aids in weight distribution while shooting.

Savage 110 is a solid choice! I love that it has a modular system, which gives room for upgrades over time.

Haha, left-handed rifles are like unicorns in a right-handed world! But seriously, it’s refreshing to see more options emerging for us.

I’m also a lefty looking for 300 PRC options! I’ve found that Hornady ELD-X has great performance for hunting. Does anyone have experience with different grain weights for this bullet?

I’ve used 200-grain ELD-X, and it was fantastic for mule deer. It really packs a punch!

15

200-grain sounds solid! What about the 250-grain types? I’ve heard they stabilize well in longer barrels.

16

I’ve tested 250-grain in my left-handed Sako and it shot like a dream, but may need a twist rate of 1:8 to stabilize well.

That’s great to know! What do you all think about the differences between lead core and copper bullets? Any major insights?

18

Lead core is usually more traditional, while copper can help with expansion and performance. I prefer copper for better terminal ballistics!

19

Do you use any specific brands? I’m curious about price differences too.

I’ve had luck with Nosler AccuBond, though they can be pricey. Sometimes worth it if you’re after precision!
